The universe has something big planned for you! A rare Annular Solar Eclipse (also known as a “Ring of Fire”) will occur on February 17, 2026, while under the influence of Aquarius, the forward-thinking, tech-driven sign.
The February eclipse will be very different from other eclipses because it will include a special configuration called Panchagraha Yoga, where five planets come together in one place. The Sun, Moon, Rahu, Mercury and Venus will combine energies in the House of “Collective Future” in Aquarius. An accumulation of energy from five planets at once creates a massive “Delete” button to eliminate old career paths. It creates a massive “Fast-Forward” button to help people interested in innovation create New Career Paths in 2026.
If you have ever felt stuck in your career or felt that your purpose no longer matched your work, this eclipse will represent your “Great Career Reset” in 2026! Below are five signs that you will experience the Biggest Professional Changes during and following this Solar Eclipse.
The “Aquarius Cluster”: Why 2026 is Different
The configuration of Rahu with the Sun and Mercury is called “Grahan Dosha.” This combination clouds the energy of conventional reasoning while enhancing the brilliance of “X-factor” innovation. The addition of Venus to this combination suggests that this current eclipse will not only bring professional success through relentless effort but also facilitate building connections with valuable colleagues and pursuing creative ways to express oneself in career path choices.
The alignment of these energies occurs within the Dhanishta Nakshatra (“the star of wealth and symphonic”); therefore, the career resets expected in 2026 should not simply represent abandoning employment, but rather the discovery of one’s unique “rhythm” or frequency that resonates with their true life purpose.

Moon Signs Impacted by Solar Eclipse of February 2026
These Moon signs will be strongly impacted by the Solar Eclipse of February 2026:
Aquarius: The Catalyst for Change
For those born under the sign of Aquarius, the Solar Eclipse lands in your 1st House of Self. Five planetary influences sit on your Ascendant, meaning the “mask” you’ve been wearing at work is about to be broken down.
For many Aquarius, you may no longer resonate with your current title at work or within the corporation you work with, and experience an overwhelming desire to change your role from a “cog in the machine” to being the “originator of the movement.”
This will be the year 2026, when you will not need to ask permission for what you want to do for your job/career. Be it launching a tech business or going freelance, the Universe is providing the opportunity for you to align your career with your true essence of “weird.”
Leo: The Revolutionary Shift
With the Solar Eclipse occurring in your 7th House (the opposite of your sign), the Lions will be forced to transition into new Collaboration Models through their Profession and Contractual Relationships.
You may find that earlier partnerships are outdated, have toxic bosses, or restrictive contracts, and they will reach a breaking point. The heavenly influence of Rahu in this area suggests a “surprise” offer from your competition, or the unexpected separation of a partnership will open the door for something larger.
Seek out Collaborative Partners that have an Innovative/Visionary energy. The Transitional Change is learning that you do not need to do all the heavy lifting inside the company on your own.
Taurus: The Shift in Professional Image
The five planets of the cluster will land in your 10th House (the house of Career/Public Reputation), which means for you that your life is abruptly changing in ways you would not normally embrace, being a Fixed Earth Sign.
As Rahu and the Sun (the Authority) are in a tug-of-war, there is likely to be a sudden change to your management structure or your company/industry as a whole.
If you have been simply working in a stable but “boring” role for a long time, this will be the year to seek a position with a high-profile/high-risk factor. It’s time to embrace the new digital economy and be prepared to take risks.
Scorpio: Making Changes from the Inside Out
Your Solar Eclipse for the year 2026 falls in the 4th House of Home and Daily Work Balance. Although we usually associate the 4th house with our home, from a career perspective, we also want to balance our home life with our everyday work life.
This Transformational Change will allow many Scorpios to realise their career has been soul-sucking, and the Transition usually includes a “Home Base” move. This could include a Remote Work option for a job, a Move to be closer to your job, or creating an Empire from your home area of passion.
You will transition from “Power for Power’s Sake” to “Peace for Productivity’s Sake.”
Gemini: Expanding Your Knowledge
The Aquarian Cluster is influencing Mercury (your ruling planet) in your 9th House, which indicates you will be experiencing your career transition related to Higher Knowledge and International Influence.
The Solar Eclipse may awaken in you the idea that everything you have learned as a result of your current position has been of no use to you in your career. This could be the Universe triggering you to take a “Back to School” step or a “Become an Expert” step.
Get ready for your career transition to become a Teacher, Author, and/or World Traveler. The Transitional Change will take you from being a “Generalist” to becoming a “Visionary Thought Leader.”
How to Prepare for the Solar 2026 Eclipse Portal
Eclipses are moments to “observe,” not “execute.” Since Mercury is part of a 5-planet cluster, expect disordered communication and misunderstandings.
Do Not Make Any Major Contract Signings (Including Resignations) on February 17: Energy will be very unstable. Wait until 72 hours after February 17 to enter into new agreements.
Make An Audit Of Your Networking: Aquarius governs the community you network with. Who, in particular, in your professional realm, is holding you back? Make an audit of them.
Look for “Rahu Signals”: The planet Rahu is associated with unexpected opportunities that appear from nowhere. If you receive an unconventional offer, do not dismiss it simply because it is not typical.
